Match preview

This War of the Roses could get messy after Huddersfield and Preston made dire starts, and playing away might just benefit North End.

Frankie McAvoy's men kicked off the season with an abject surrender at home to Hull.

They picked things up by sweeping aside Mansfield in the League Cup and then had precious little luck in a 2-1 loss at Reading.

Town, meanwhile, were poor against Sheffield Wednesday and Derby and were then played off the park at home by Fulham, who hit them for five though it could easily have been ten.

Carlos Corberan is still likely to have a trio of Covid absentees and this looks like a confidence-shattered team who haven't learned any lessons from a dismal 2020-21.

Key stat

Huddersfield have failed to win any of their last eight matches at the John Smith's Stadium.
